Everything Pelham Cares accomplishes is made possible by more than 60 dedicated volunteers, along with the many individuals, organizations, and businesses who support our work.

Week after week, our volunteers show up with compassion and commitment. Whether they are sorting donations, stocking shelves, driving clients to medical appointments, serving on our Board of Directors, or helping behind the scenes, their contributions touch every part of our organization and have a meaningful impact throughout the community.

On April 24, we gathered for a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon to recognize all of our volunteers and to honour those celebrating 5, 10, and 15 years of service.

Volunteers help make Pelham a stronger, more caring community. They ensure that our neighbours feel supported, connected, and valued. Thank you to each and every volunteer for the time, energy, and kindness you share.

Honoured for an incredible 15 years of volunteer service were Margaret and Michael Rice, as well as Sue Kicul.

Margaret and Michael have generously served as volunteer drivers for our Medical Transportation Program for many years, helping local residents get to important medical appointments with care and compassion.

Sue Kicul has worn many hats at Pelham Cares over the years. She has been a valued member of our Board of Directors, served as our Youth Services representative, and more recently has been our tireless Corresponding Secretary, writing hundreds of heartfelt thank-you notes to donors each year.

Also recognized for 10 years of service were Brenda Wild, Mary Ann Hicks, and Graham Jackson.

Lori Szwarz was honoured for 5 years of dedicated volunteer service.

Thank you to all of these remarkable volunteers for your commitment, generosity, and the heart you bring to our community. Your contributions make a meaningful difference every day.

We’d like to give special recognition to the amazing congregations at Kirk-On-The-Hill Church and Glad Tidings Church of God in Fonthill for organizing Spring Cleaning Drives on our behalf. Your kindness and community spirit truly made a difference!  We’re also so grateful to the Niagara Business Syndicate for their generous donation and continued support.

Together, we are making a meaningful impact — thank you for being part of it! Let the cleaning frenzy begin!

The post Most Needed Items appeared first on Pelham Cares.

Every donation, volunteer hour, and thoughtful gesture made a real difference, helping us meet increased needs during a time when giving matters most.

The image may show our building calm and quiet, but throughout December it was anything but—bustling with volunteers, food donations, and compassion in action. As we look ahead, we hold onto hope for a future where no one in Pelham needs a food bank at all. Until that day comes, thank you for standing with us and for proving, time and again, what a caring community can accomplish together. 💛
